WASHING-MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application mea November 7, 1914. seriaino. 870,906. Y y

T0 all 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, OMER DEAKINs, a citizen of the Unitedz States, residing at Mount Sterling, in the county of Montgomery and State of Kentucky, have invented new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention contemplates the'provision of a washing machine in thel nature ota boiler wherein the boilingfwa'ter and steam is `forcedin a continuouscirculation through perforated vertical and horizontally disposed communicating conduits, and discharged on all parts of the clothes coinpletely sterilizing the same in a comparatively short time.

Among other features the invention embodies simplicity of construction, the parts being readily and easily removed for cleansing the sama-.whereby the machine can be kept perfectly sanitary.

Other objects will appear from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction, com-v bination and arrangement of parts herein- =after more fully described.

In the drawing formi-ng a part ofthis application like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views and in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view. Fig.

2 is a horizontal sectional view. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective -view of the removable bottom. Fig. 4 is a view of the inner casing partly in section. 't

My improved machine consists .essentially of an outer section 5 preferably of rectangular formation but which can be made 1n any suitable contour, having a bottom 6, and' suitable handles 7.

Snugly fitted within the outer section 5 1s a bottomless inner section 8 corresponding in shape to the contour of the section 5.

Secured in any suitable manner to each of -the four sides of the inner section S'and adjacent the lower edge thereof are horizontally disposed flanges 9 upon which rests the vertically disposed conduits 10 the latter being closed at their upper ends by the inwardly directed flange 11 fqrmlng a continuation of the respective sides of the 'sections 8. The vertical conduits 8 as shown in this particular instance are substantially `U-shaped .in cross section, having the free edges of the parallel portions 12 soldered o r otherwise secured to the sides .of theseetion. As shown ,one of these conduitsvis secured to eaeh side of the section and are-disposed directly opposite each other, although Patented Auggaaims.

any number of these;conduits may be .eml ployedA to accommodate different size machines. The flanges-9i are-.cut away immeohately below eachY conduit 10 as at 13,.forming an inlet through whichthe hot water and steam enters the conduits, and is forced upwardly and discharged in a spray through the apertures 14 arranged in longitudinal erites on the centrall portion 15 of` the, conu1 s. v a

Extending entirely around the sidesi'of the Y inner section- 8 slightlyabove the" transverse center thereof is a horizontally idisposed series of alined yconduits 16 of sub'- stantially U-shape in cross section,having the free edges of the parallel portions 1,7

` suitably secured thereto. 'lhe adjacent ends of the horizontal conduits 16 engage against the opposite parallel portions 12 of the vertical conduits 10 and kcommunicate therewith through suitable openings 18 formed in the said parallel portions 12, the conduits 16 being also provided with a longitudinal series of apertures 19. The 'opposite ends of the horizontally disposed conduits 16 engage against the sides of-the vertically disposed corner conduit 2O .and communicate therewith through suitable openings 21, the cor# lation finds its way 'to the space below the removable bottom 23 through the apertures adjacent the lower end of each of the vertical conduits 8. l

Seated upon the flanges 9 is a removable bottom 23 having :an apertured collar 24 depending centrally` therefrom and engaging the bottom 6 of the casing 5. The removable bottom has ga central opening from which rises the afpertured tube 25, which communicates with the outer casing 5 and is closed at its upper end. The hot water rotatably receiving a turning wheel 31 'p10` vided witha handle 32. .The bracket fis formed with radiating `arms 33 secured to the cover by means of the fastening elements 34. lThe lower end of the-shaft is: en- -larged as at 35, and in which is inserted the free ends ofthe spider arms 36, each pairl of armsbeing formed from a single strand 1 of Wire.' With this-construction the clothes 1in the boiler can bejstirred about when nec- 2o I `the inner section 8, the -latter being disposed e slightly below the upper edge of the outer. section 5. 39 indicates afaucet for removessary without removing the cover.

The ,cover 29 is formed with adepending flange 37 which'rests upon the flanges 9 of ing the water from theouter section when finished washing.

.From the foregoing description vit is believed that the nature and advantages ofthe `invention willV be thoroughly understood v without requiring a more extended explanatirn and therefore the saine has been omitte Y. f'

What I ,claim is A washing machine comprising an outer casing, an inner bottomless casing removably fitted thereinA and having horizontal flanges disposed immediately above the bot- .tomof the outer casing, vertically disposed apertured conduits rising from saidanges vand having their lower ends in communication with said outer casing, the said inner casin terminating at,A itsupper edges1 to providel inwardly directed Vilanges closing the upper ends of said conduits, a lia-t removable bottom supported upon said lower flanges, an apertured tube rising centrally ytherefrom fand having communication with said outer y casing, an apertured collar de# pending rrom said removable` bottom and.

disposed,therebetween and the bottom of said outer casing, vand a .cover yhaving a depending flange resting uponthe i said inlwardlydirected flanges of said inner casing. ln testimony whereof I aliix my signaturel in presence of two witnesses.
